Mom pulled out her super old and weird breast pump to show me the struggles of BF back in the day 😂🍼
@kitcatmeow8383, you'll be fine with it at work. It's VERY portable. Once you get your routine down too (of timing, setting up, pumping and cleaning the pump then storing the milk, etc...) it'll be so easy. Pumping isn't that hard at all. Just tedious. Exclusively pumping on the other hand is probably the hardest thing. I have no idea how mamas do that. You'll find that you hardly use it if you're only going to be at work one night a week for 9 hours. I can't wait to see you with baby. All of this stuff we're talking about will be such second nature 💕
@kitcatmeow8383, yea it does the job! I have 0 complaints. Then again I have nothing to really compare it to. I hardly use it since I'm still a stay at home mom so I'm always nursing but every now and then when I need a small supply for our date nights it'll do the trick. Or of course if I'm engorged. It's very comfortable in my opinion and user friendly! You can get extra bottles for it almost everywhere. It's also pretty standard so quite a bit of different brands of bottles fit the pump piece itself. I switch between the pump and at times I use a simple manual silicone pump thing where I'll hand express.
@kitcatmeow8383, oh yea it is actually a branch of the Medela 😮 I was researching it haha isn't that funny?
@kitcatmeow8383, lol serious throw back girl. She said it was so painful. I felt it all and the material was NOT user friendly 😫 what's a Tiana?? I've never heard of those.
@kitcatmeow8383, honestly Catherine, it's sill hard for me to picture the fact that she WAS in my belly. I keep trying to connect the two but it just won't work. Nothing about pregnancy felt natural to me (as media portrays it to be) but being with Avie feels so natural. It's like she's always been around and I've been nursing her my whole life. Idk things are just so instinctual, even primal in a sense. It's so easy, natural and rewarding but sorry to say that in the beginning, there's no easy part 😂
